Who knew bat poo could be worth millions?
A new study shows Australia's grey-headed flying foxes are dropping bat ripple magic across millions of hectares. Their seed-dispersing guano helps grow a median of around 90 million new trees every year, mostly eucalypts.
That's an estimated 217 million to 955 million boost to the timber industry alone. Not bad for some flying forest gardeners who connect bushfire-scarred landscapes like pros.
Time to stop seeing them as pests and start celebrating these keystone heroes. Protect the bats, protect the forests.

Poo of 'endearing' bat worth hundreds of millions, study says

Bats are often thought of as smelly, ugly and noisy, but a study has revealed the economic and ecological value of one Australian species's poo.

Protecting wildlife means protecting ourselves.

World Wildlife Day (WWD) is a United Nations international holiday that takes place every year on March 3 to celebrate the world's wild animals and plants. This date is the birthday of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), which was signed in 1973. Every year, WWD is hosted by the CITES Secretariat. People around the world join this annual awareness-raising campaign and organize events, such as education programmes, youth symposiums and classroom exhibitions. The World Wildlife Day 2024 Theme is Connecting People and Planet: Exploring Digital Innovation in Wildlife Conservation.

Nearly 50 years ago, David Bamberger bought 5,500 acres of overgrazed Texas land and focused on restoring it by planting native grasses to capture rain and replenish aquifers. His work revived the ecosystem, bringing back biodiversity, and his approach is now a model for land stewardship and water conservation across the region.

The Yellow-headed Amazon (Amazona oratrix) is native to Central America, but since 1986, a small wild population has also been living in Stuttgart, Germany.

Unfortunately, this stunning parrot species is critically endangered due to habitat loss and illegal trade. Protecting them is more important than ever.

The Impact of Storms on the UK's Trees: A Closer Look — Protect Earth

After the December storms that battered the UK, I walked through some favourite trails near my home in West Wales. These trails and paths meander in, near, and through valleys that are dense with woodlands, and where the aftermath of the storms was stark—fallen trees littered the landscape, even in
